I know, they tried with me & my (then) girlfriend (we're now married) to get us to say we're married legally. it’s worth noting that in new york, government agencies will try to label you married if you’re living with someone of the opposite sex in a relationship.

They did grandfather the law for those that were considered common-law married, but as of a specific date, it was no longer recognized. I'm sorry. I don't remember the exact date that the law went into effect. On a side note, Yvonne, I love your column! Keep up the wonderful work! Ohio no longer recognizes common-law marriages as of 1998?

Based on this law, the Department of Insurance has determined that it cannot allow "common law marriage partners," “domestic partners” or “civil union” partners (be they be same or opposite sex partners) parity with married couples, even if such partnerships/unions are recognized by other states. Accordingly, parity with a legal spouse for insurance coverage is not permitted in Kansas. Dear Dr. Yvonne Fulbright,
